<p class="p1">The Costume Institute’s spring 2026 exhibition. "Costume Art" explores depictions of the dressed body across The Met’s vast collection, pairing garments with artworks to reveal the inherent relationship between clothing and the body."</p><p class="p1">More From <a target="_blank" href="https://www.metmuseum.org/">The Met</a>:</p><p class="p1">"Focusing primarily on Western art from prehistory to the present, “Costume Art” presents connections between garments from The Costume Institute and objects from the Museum’s other collecting areas. Pairings between fashions and artworks will present a spectrum of connections and experiences: from the formal to the conceptual, the aesthetic to the political, the individual to the universal, the illustrative to the symbolic, and the playful to the profound. These pairings are organized into a series of thematic body types that reflect their pervasiveness and endurance through time and cultures.&nbsp;</p><p class="p1">“Costume Art” is the inaugural exhibition in the new, nearly 12,000-square-foot galleries adjacent to the Great Hall. This space will display The Costume Institute’s annual spring show and, at times, shows from the Museum’s other curatorial departments, including those that explore the intersection of fashion and art."</p><p class="p1"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/costume-art">Click Here to learn more about the exhibition, "Costume Art".</a></p><p class="p1">Costume Art will be on display at&nbsp;The Metropolitan Museum of Art in&nbsp;New York, NY from now through January 10, 2027.</p><p class="p1">Watch the video below to take a tour of The Costume Institute at The Met's latest exhibition.</p><p style="text-align: left; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background: none; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; caret-color: rgb(75, 75, 75); color: rgb(75, 75, 75); font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;">&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: left; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background: none; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; caret-color: rgb(75, 75, 75); color: rgb(75, 75, 75); font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"></p><div class="legacy-video-container" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background: none; caret-color: rgb(75, 75, 75); color: rgb(75, 75, 75); font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><div class="iframe-wrapper"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/6fvCbLc5SIo?wmode=transparent" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div></div><p style="text-align: left; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background: none; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; caret-color: rgb(75, 75, 75); color: rgb(75, 75, 75); font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"></p><p style="text-align: left; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background: none; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; caret-color: rgb(75, 75, 75); color: rgb(75, 75, 75); font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;">&nbsp;</p>
